Excellent Taz!
Was there a post about your losing your artsee? That was a pistol, I pressume? If you lost it, it sure will surprise someone when they find it, and if someone stole it, they sure are going to be disappointed if they were fooled by his artistry. -Sorry to hear about that, but the AB will put a smile on your face. :wink: :D

Thanks Blues..and Hemming way too. BTW When I said I lost my Artsee revolver I mean that customs are being scum and not letting me have it. Hopefully it can be sent back to artsee for resale:)

Great looking hat IndyTaz!! Is this your first Indy style hat or did you have something before the AB?

I too just received an AB and am happily wearing it all the time. :D

:D That's great news Australia!!! Steve said I am the first Tasmanian to ever have one so I am really really feeling very special. Now If I could just save up enough money for the AB for head number 2 (Australian in joke)

How are you doing on the gear trail BTW Australia?

Hey Taz, congratulations. I know how bummed you were over the Artsee 1 ordeal. I am especially glad for you. If anyone deserves to get some real nice IndyGear right now, it is you. It looks great on you. Have fun wearing it.

:D Hey thanks Bufflehead. It's nice to be remembered:) But I'm not saying die on the Artsee1 replica just yet. So far my annoyance has cost customs $200 bucks to send the item to my town. They thought I already had a gun permit so they made a boo. Now I am trying to get my gun permit so I can have it. I am going throught the first step of trying to join a collector's guild. Then I can go for my permit. They are still holding it sheesh. I think it would of been easier to become a gunsmith and make my own lol Almost :wink: Anyway...at least I don't have to register it now or have a gun safe Whew!

That's good news, Taz. I have my fingers crossed for you. It is an awful lot to go through just to get a piece of resin, but if you succeed, it will be worth it. Too bad that they are putting you through so much.

The Indy hat has come full circle. A short while ago folks from the US were buying hats from Australia because they made the best reasonably priced Indy hat (Akubra Federation). Now the Australians are buying hats from the US because Steve makes the most accurate, best value Indy hat. (Adventurebilt).

I am still awainting Indy Magnolis leather jacket replica...

Is Magnoli making a leather jacket? What about a hat? Or is he leaving that area to Fedora and the AB?
